Wine Flavor Profile
Enjoy the ethereal tale with this crisp, light white wine that mirrors the film’s enchanting allure. Directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Gene Kelly, Van Johnson and Cyd Charisse, this musical fantasy dances through a world where passion and magic collide. The wine’s exhilarating notes complement the movie’s memorable choreography and lush Technicolor landscapes.
Sancerre in France may be Sauvignon Blanc’s spiritual home, but for modern vibrancy, Marlborough, New Zealand is the new “Sauvignon Central.” And nobody does it better than Dr. John Forrest—a pioneer of the Golden Mile (Marlborough’s original and best vineyard strip).
Here’s top critic Huon Hooke on John’s regular Sauvignon: “From one of New Zealand’s finest producers, this is about as good as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc gets.” You’ll enjoy the exhilarating Stonewall Sauvignon Blanc he makes just for our customers.
Inspired by the striking ‘stone-walled’ entrance to John’s beautiful estate (built from the Wairau River stones that give Marlborough’s best wines their attractive mineral notes), this white offers plenty of inspiration in the glass. It boasts intense aromas and flavors of ripe passion fruit, refreshing citrus zest and black currant leaf. With a history of gold medal wins, it’s a white that’s guaranteed to impress you and your guests.
The perfect partner for a spread of cheeses, fresh fish and sushi, crisp green salads and more. Be warned though: one sip (or bottle) may not be enough.
“About as good as Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc gets.”
